Nun increments counter.

There was a rare but not unheard-of bald eagle perched atop a tree on the east side of Green Lake yesterday morning. I choose to see that as a good omen.

One of my cow orkers got me and almond pastry thingy. Awww!

Korean BBQ with m'boy at Blue Ginger was death by marinated meat with sesame oil-anchovy and miso-like sauces. Mental note: one order of bulgogi will do for the two of us, even though one of us is a teenager. I could have predicted that if I'd thought back what, six or seven years ago to the last time I'd had Korean BBQ.

I've done something that may in hindsight prove to be foolish: I've installed Ingress on my phone. I'm SistaWendy there and I'm one of the Enlightened because my favorite color is green. Sorry, Resistance smurfs, I followed my heart on this one. It seems the Enlightened own both my neighborhood and downtown. I've already hacked one portal in the pouring rain in a pocket park near me, but it looks as if Green Lake, which is a much larger park, is a hotly contested war zone. That's understandable given the number of people who walk there frequently. Evil (?) plans:

1. Introduce my son to Ingress. He loves games, he has an iPhone 4, he needs the exercise, and we can do it together.
2. I've seen the landscape to the south & east, but I have yet to check out the west - atop Phinney Ridge and beyond it, Ballard - and north, where my nearest southbound bus stop is.
3. Figure out what all this in-game crap, e.g. linked portals, is and what it's good for.

I appreciate the irony of the "this is not a game" business in the intro. Yeah, yeah, track where I walk. I don't care.
